Doctor, quiero una talla 100
2009
Cuando una paciente consulta al cirujano plástico con la intención de que éste le efectúe una mamoplastia de aumento es, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, difícil interpretar exactamente el volumen que desea. La determinación del volumen de la mama que posee la paciente y del volumen que quisiera tener se ve limitada por inconvenientes técnicos y por la poca precisión en la interpretación psicosocial de las mediciones y cálculos que se pueden hacer. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido desarrollar un sistema que partiendo de las medidas intrínsecas del sujetador permita relacionar el volumen de la mama de la paciente con el volumen de la copa del sujetador que desea y con la prótesis necesaria…
Chest Surgery for Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Individuals
2018
Chest surgery can greatly facilitate the experience of living in a gender role. For transfeminine chest surgery, most surgeons recommend a 12-month period of feminizing hormone therapy prior to breast augmentation. For those who already have some breast volume due to hormone treatment, lipofilling can be a good option. Transmasculine chest surgery includes mastectomy and creation of a male chest. Preoperative parameters to be evaluated include breast volume, degree of excess skin, nipple-areola complex size and position, and skin elasticity. The algorithm the authors developed and modified can help choose from 5 techniques, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing male chest.
Complications of Poly Implant Prothèse breast implants: the current discussion
2013
Against the background of the current discussion about Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP, Seyne-sur-mer, France) breast implants, we want to present a case demonstrating the complications such as implant rupture, silicone dissemination and level III silicone lymphadenopathy. A 29-year-old woman with cosmetic breast augmentation with PIP implants 5 years previously showed a sensitive swelling in her right axilla and neck region. All tests to detect an infectious or lymphomatous lymphadenopathy were negative. After ultrasound and MRI, rupture of the right implant was assumed and multiple pathologically enlarged lymph nodes up to supraclavicular region were shown. An excision biopsy of one axillary l…
Diagnostic challenges and potential early indicators of breast periprosthetic anaplastic large cell lymphoma
2020
Abstract Rationale: Anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (BI-ALCL) is a rare primitive lymphoma described in women with breast implant prostheses, which has been arousing interest in recent years due to its potentially high social impact. The difficult diagnosis associated with the high and increasing number of prosthetic implants worldwide has led to hypothesize an underestimation of the real impact of the disease among prosthesis-bearing women. The aim of this work is to search for specific radiological signs of disease linked to the chronic inflammatory pathogenetic mechanism. Patient concerns: This work describes a case of BI-ALCL in an American woman with no personal or family history of c…

Methods A review of the literature was performed focusing on the most recent techniques of gender reassignment surgery. Main Outcome Measures Main outcomes included a historical review of gender confirmation surgery leading to the techniques of choice in differ…
